A retelling of the familiar nursery tale, prepared for young children and published in English by M. D. Gunasena & Co. in Colombo. Priyangwada Perera keeps the telling simple, with short sentences pitched at children who are still being read to or who are beginning to read for themselves.
The book is illustrated in colour throughout and issued in hardback, which makes it more durable in small hands than a paperback picture book. It belongs to a series of fairy tales that Gunasena has produced for Sri Lankan children, each volume given the same treatment: one well-known story, plainly told, with pictures on the page.
Suited to reading aloud at home, to early classroom use, and to parents abroad who want English storybooks for children published in Sri Lanka. It also works as a gift for a child just starting to recognise words on the page.
